===========
"So, you are the preliminary examiner from the Hunter Association and also the Guides. Your main responsibility is to lead the qualified candidates to the real venue, right?"
Pretending to leave but not leaving, Lan, who was stopped by the vicious fox family, said.
That's it!!
The fox's father nodded and then called out his partner, who had been arranged in the jungle.
The daughter and son who had transformed into human form kept nodding beside them.
"It seems I misunderstood."
Lan pretended to be surprised.
"It's nothing as long as the misunderstanding is resolved."
The fox's father said with a smile.
Is it really a misunderstanding?
This young man, after opening the door just now, revealed their identities right away.
Dad, daughter, son.
Their disguises and identities were all revealed.
Either he has extraordinary eyesight, or he has some understanding of their Kiriko race.
However, based on this situation, the other party still said such words.
That's quite intriguing.
"I've been an examiner for so many years, and I've always been the one giving the exam, but this time I was tricked by the examinee?"
As an intelligent race among Magical Beasts, the fox father was specially invited to be the guide for the Hunter Exam.
After going through so many preliminary Hunter Exams, he still has some intelligence and experience.
This time, he met a rare, fascinating candidate, which made him feel interested.
Of course, it was mainly because of the opponent's strength and the aura that made the fox father wisely not choose any follow-up actions.
"You can go inside and rest first. When midnight comes, we will take you to the site of this Hunter Exam together with the other examinee who came."
The fox father kindly invited Lan into the house: "It's a good opportunity for us to drink tea and chat."
"Then I will not refuse."
Lan followed inside and collected the white blind box in the house.
[Get an Ordinary (White) blind box. Do you want to open it?]
[Open successfully, get: Bugs Bunny's carrot (source world: Looney Tunes)]
What the hell?!
Before Lan sat down, he saw another strange thing coming out of his blind box.
"Bugs Bunny's carrots, even though he looks like a fox, he's actually a rabbit."
Lan couldn't help but complain in his heart: "And it's a vicious rabbit."
Bugs Bunny is a character from the animation and comics series Looney Tunes.
Looney Tunes is an animation first launched by Warner Brothers Studios in 1930.
In the United States, it is more famous than MGM's Studio Tom and Jerry and far exceeds Disney's Mickey Mouse.
Among them, Bugs Bunny is a very classic anime character.
"Hey, what happened?"
This line has become a memory for many people.
Lan couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: "Before, a magic hat with a carrot printed on it appeared, and now a carrot appeared directly."
"Is this island actually called Carrot Island?"
"What's on your mind?"
The fox's father took out the tea set and asked while looking at Lan, who was a little distracted.
"Nothing."
Lan looked at the table and said: "I was just thinking that since you guys have brought out tea to entertain me, I should at least show some appreciation."
He turned around and took out Bugs Bunny's carrot.
"Um?!"
The fox's father was first attracted by Lan's action of flipping his hand to take something, and then he narrowed his eyes.
Then, his attention was completely drawn to the carrot in Lan's hand.
"This carrot..."
The fox's father's nose kept twitching. "It looks delicious."
Not only he but also his son and daughter sat up straight beside him while staring at the carrot without blinking.
Lan: "..."
Oh yes, he remembered that foxes eat carrots.
Foxes will eat carrots in their natural environment, especially if they are placed there by humans.
In addition, some foxes even particularly like to eat carrots. They will not only eat carrots when food is scarce but also choose this food under normal circumstances.
It seems that this fox family is particularly fond of it.
And this carrot belongs to Bugs Bunny, the protagonist of his own series.
The carrot that caught the protagonist's eye has a lot to say about its color and taste.
So, Lan drank tea and ate carrots with the fox family and spent a very pleasant evening.
In the blink of an eye, it was already twelve o'clock midnight, but apart from Lan, no other candidates came here.
The fox's father took Lan and flew to the final destination.
"It's been a long time since I've guided such a talented newcomer."
Under the bright moonlight, in the starry night, the fox father fluttered his wings: "You will definitely pass this Hunter Exam."
"Thanks."
Lan, who was like a paraglider, grabbed the fox's legs and said: "But maybe I'll need you to lead the way for me again next year."
"Um?!"
"Well, I'll come again next year."
“…?!”
The clear light shone on the man and the fox as they headed towards the venue of this year's Hunter Exam.
When the first rays of dawn appear on the horizon.
The ferocious fox also brought Lan to the scene of the 286th Hunter Exam.
